Episode overview

Netanyahu To Release Epstein Files to Stop US-Iran Peace Agreement? Trump furious at Bibi?

Redacted · 3 Egleze moments

Episode summary

Hosts Clayton and Natalie Morris dissect the breaking U.S.-Iran peace framework and America's crumbling economic foundations in a dense episode featuring defense analyst Brandon Weikert, retired Green Beret Joe Kent, and economist Peter Schiff. The show opens with leaked details from Saudi outlet Al Arabiya on a U.S.-Iran memorandum calling for immediate ceasefire, U.S. withdrawal from the region within a month, unfreezing of Iranian assets, and lifting of the Hormuz blockade. Weikert characterizes the deal as a 'conditional surrender' by the United States, noting Trump removed harsher nuclear demands after Iran rejected them and desperately needs oil flowing before strategic reserves bottom out June 22. Israel has been excluded from the text to prevent sabotage, though former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe previously warned Netanyahu would release Epstein kompromat to torpedo any agreement. The linchpin remains Israeli escalation in Lebanon—Iran threatened harsh retaliation today after another double-tap strike. Trump floated letting Syria's new ISIS-linked leader handle Hezbollah, prompting Kent, whose wife died fighting ISIS, to call the proxy strategy catastrophic. Kent also confirmed outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified over 140 U.S.-funded biolabs in 30-plus countries after fighting the intelligence community, saying 'there's a lot more there' on COVID origins. The second half pivots to the housing crisis: Schiff argues prices must fall 30 to 50 percent to reach affordability but warns Trump's stated goal is preserving boomer home equity. Schiff projects $4 trillion annual deficits, interest on debt consuming 80 percent of tax revenue within years, and inflation running 5 to 8 percent despite Fed's 2 percent pretense. He dismissed the 'Big Beautiful Bill' as a tax hike via inflation and predicted Kevin Warsh will deploy unprecedented quantitative easing despite prior QE criticism.

Tulsi Gabbard Declassified 140+ Secret U.S. Biolabs Across 30 Countries

Joe Kent, former director of National Counterterrorism Center, confirmed that outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard fought the intelligence community to declassify proof of over 140 U.S.-funded biolabs in more than 30 countries—far beyond the handful Victoria Nuland admitted existed in Ukraine. Kent said this is 'just the tip of the iceberg' and more revelations are likely coming about their purpose and COVID origins.

Economist Warns U.S. Home Prices Must Drop 30 to 50 Percent

Economist Peter Schiff told Redacted that U.S. housing prices, inflated by a decade of zero percent Fed rates, must fall 30 to 50 percent to reach affordability as mortgage rates hover near 7 percent. He said homeowners with low-rate mortgages are locked in, creating a frozen market, but eventually forced sales will trigger collapse. Schiff criticized Trump's stated policy goal of keeping prices high to preserve boomer wealth at the expense of young buyers.
